What is the saying about planting willows on Qingming Festival?

The first explanation for planting willows on Qingming Festival is: to commemorate Shennong, the ancestor of agriculture who taught people how to farm.
In some places, people insert willow branches under the eaves to predict the weather. There is an old saying that goes "When the willow branches are green, it will rain; when the willow branches are dry, the sky will be sunny."
Willows have strong vitality. As the saying goes, "If you plant flowers with care, they may not grow; but if you plant willows by accident, they may grow into shade trees." Willow branches will grow wherever they are planted. If you plant willows every year, shade trees will grow everywhere.
The second explanation for planting willow branches during the Qingming Festival is to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.
In some places in northern my country, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Cold Clothes Festival are collectively referred to as the "Three Major Ghost Festivals."
Influenced by the Buddhist image of Guanyin holding a willow branch and dipping it in water to save all living beings, many people believe that willow twigs have the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, and call willow branches "ghost-fearing wood."
In the "Qimin Yaoshu" by Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is written: "Put willow branches on the door, and all ghosts will not enter the house." Since Qingming is the Ghost Festival, when willow branches sprout, people would plant willow branches and wear willow branches to ward off evil spirits.
The third explanation for planting willow branches on Qingming Festival: to commemorate Jie Zitui.
Jie Zitui burned himself under a big willow tree to show his loyalty and chastity, which made Duke Wen of Jin and his ministers and people very sad. The next year, when Duke Wen of Jin led his ministers to climb the mountain to pay tribute to Jie Zitui, they discovered that the old willow tree that had been burned that year had come back to life.
Duke Wen of Jin immediately named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and broke off a few willow branches on the spot and wore them on his head to express his remembrance.
From then on, officials and common people followed suit and it became a trend. Planting willow trees and wearing willow trees on Qingming Festival became a symbol of commemorating Jie Zitui. Qingming Festival Customs: Swinging
Swinging is one of the customs of Qingming Festival in ancient China. Wang Renyu of the Five Dynasties wrote in "The Remaining Stories of Kaiyuan and Tianbao" that "During the Cold Food Festival, a swing was erected in the Tianbao Palace for the concubines to play and have fun. The emperor called it the play of the half-immortals, and the people in the capital called it that as well." Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Passing by Dragon Gate on the Cold Food Day" that "beside the bridge, willow trees hang down green threads, and there are many swings with colorful ropes." A swing means moving by pulling on a leather rope.
Swinging has a very old history. It was originally called Qianqiu, but later it was changed to swing to avoid taboos.
In ancient times, swings were mostly made of tree branches as frames, tied with colorful ribbons. Later it gradually developed into a swing with two ropes and pedals.
Swinging can not only improve health, but also cultivate courage. It is still loved by people, especially children.
